Red Headed Book Child: 2010

red headed book child: the year 2010

Folks, I've seen a lot of you announce changes and plans for your blogs for the new year and I am impressed with your drive and organization. This will be my first "new year" in blogging and though I have tweaked my design, my layout, my postings a bit, I have not made any major changes to my blog. This comes from complete lack of time (toddler) and energy (toddler) and the know how and computer savvy to actually do it all (80s child).

The important thing to me is and always will be to review whatever it is I'm reading. Though I primarily read fiction, mysteries, young adult, humor and memoir one of my goals in the new year is to broaden my reading horizons. It is important to me to still have a credible blog with reviews that are worth reading but I go for my gut with what to read and what I'm in the mood for so you are going to see a lot of variety from me.

For example, I follow a few of you who read a lot of romance. This has never been a genre that I have read a lot of or really cared to. But many of you have written reviews so well and so fun that I am inspired to seek out a few. Because that genre is so large I am referring to Book Blogs to help me decide what to read. So for January and February, you will see a few reviews and blog tours for saucy romance reads and I am super excited to do so!

I still have not picked what challenges to do and once again, it's all about mood for me. So keep posted and I'll let you know!

I will continue to do Week in Review (except for Christmas, sorry! I was weak from too many goodies!) and Author Love-a-Thons and when I can I will participate in Teaser Tuesdays, Waiting on Wednesdays and Throwback Thursdays.

I really just like to read all of you and comment as much as I can and stay on top of my reviewing. I'm not very fancy here at Red Headed Book Child.

My friend and book stalker, Rachel, has a super smart tech savvy husband who is planning on helping me design the blog header of my dreams ( I may not be tech savvy but I do have ideas!). Due to our crazy lives (toddler), we have yet to meet up. This WILL happen however after the new year.

In May of 2010, I am planning my big trip along with my friend Cheryl to BEA! I am staying on top of any news regarding the Book Blogger Convention that may happen. I am also hoping to finally meet the wonderful people of Simon and Schuster after all of these years of book sharing! And I hope to maybe meet some of you too!

Thank you all for following me and commenting and being such wonderful folks. I have had a blast since I've started in late July. I see my 127 followers as an awesome mark of achievement. You all make up for all of the kids who never showed up to my birthday parties when I was a kid ( ha ha!)

As always, Happy Reading!!
